GM Anna Muzychuk (UKR) si GM Vassily Ivanchuk (UKR) au castigat ambele sectiuni (rapid si blitz) din acest an. In articol se afla si o legatura spre un excelent material pe ChessBase News.
Intre 24 si 28 nov 2017, au loc la Bucuresti si Medias mai multe manifestari cu ocazia celui de al XI-lea turneu, ideat si pus in practica de unul dintre punctele de referinta ale sahului romanesc si probabil cea mai cunoscuta figura feminina romaneasca in lume, vorbind evident de sah si toate laturile sale: WGM Elisabeta Polihroniade (24.04.1935- 23.01.2016). Datele seci din Wikipedia sunt evident prea sarace si nu pot sa reflecte cu adevarat, viata inchinata sahului.
In ceea ce ne priveste, suntem mereu alaturi de iubitorii sahului si incercam sa satisfacem interesul lor, mai ales catre partidele jucate. Un asemenea eveniment nu ne poate "scapa" si ca de obicei, preparam o "vitrina", in care privitorul sa se orienteze si sa decida repede ce are de urmarit si ce il intereseaza. Numele care vor onora acest turneu, sunt importante. Incepem cu invitatul de onoare, fostul campion mondial GM Anatoly Karpov (RUS) care va da un simultan la Bucuresti in ziua deschiderii si continuam cu jucatorii ce vor sustine reusita evenimentului, in doua turnee de sah (rapid si blitz, Medias 26-28 nov 2017 de la 15:00): GM Sergey Karjakin (RUS) campion mondial blitz en-titre, GM Vassily Ivanchuk (UKR) campion mondial rapid en-titre, GM Wei Yi (CHN), GM Anna Muzychuk (UKR) campioana mondiala a ambelor sectiuni (blitz si rapid), GM Pia Cramling (SWE), IM Elisabeta Paehtz (GER). Romania va fi reprezentata in acest an de GM Bogdan Daniel Deac si IM Corina Isabela Peptan. Sa le uram succes jucatorilor nostri! Intrati in articol si urmariti turneele cu partidele live disponibile la ora de joc programata.
